Simon says: Hiking is a fun way to stay fit and healthy

At age 56, the writer has more energy than when he was 30. And he has lost 10kg. All thanks to hiking.

It all started back in January last year when my wife and I were introduced to hiking by a friend during a church lunch gathering. My immediate response was “No, no,” as we had never hiked in the jungle all our lives.
